THE FREE AMERICAN, published
at Columbus, this State, in the in
terest of the colored race, is a paper
SO full of good sound patriotic read
ing matter, relating to the race,
that it should be taken by every
colored man or woman, who can
possibly spare the small amount of
money asked for a years subscrip-
ton, and it should not be confined
wholly to that race as it is chock
full of splendid information and
views that would do our proud
white race good to read and digest.

stated that " he mould not serve If the
members of the committee, individually
or collectively, ocere expected to handle

vention, Mr.. Poindexter, stated, as
did others, that the resolution un-
der which the committee was APP
pointed e1plici.ly prorided against
such assumption of power, and also
added that "hs duty Of the committee

Now for the sequel: A member
of that committee is going around
with a subscription book, asking
persons to contribute to the object
set forth, and claiming that the
committee on Ways and Means con-
ferred the aut hority upon him to
do so. r.
While the &riter Of this has the
highest respect for that committee,
both as individuals and as body,
we desire to ask them this question,
plainly and distinctly; Who con
ferred authority upon you to grant
authority to any one, in the face of
the resolution adopted by the John
Brown convention, which clearly
stated the duties Of your commit
tee? You haTe no right to pursue
such course (if you have done so)
and the people will not submit to
it. Your dutyis plain in this mat
ter, which is to recall the so-called
grant of authority, and perfect
plan to submit to the citizens of
Ohio in the near future, as contem-
plated and prOuided for when you
were appointed. We warn all of
the readers of this paper against
contributing one penny to any self
constituted agent of the John
Brown Monument Fund, and to
wait until such time as the people
have detern4ifAod what they will do
THEREAFTER requiring the parties
handling the funds to give bonds
for the faithful accounting for all
moneys collected d-will be the prop
er time to contribute. Our ex-

Special dispatch to the Enquirer, March A.
COLUMBUS, ONO, March 4.-The Arnett
bill to teach scientific temperance in the
public schools of the State passed the
House to-day by vote Of 81 to "a. The
debate on the bill was one of the most
dramatic and exciting of the session
Rev. Arnett, Of Greene County, the
author OF the bill, became exceedingly
eloquent in his speech favoring the pass
age of the bill. Col. Harlan, of Cincin-
natl, acted as interlocutor, and made the
chief argument against the bill. AS it
was one colored man pitted against an
other, the House listened with rapt atten-
ton.
Colonel Harlan's questions seemed
only to inspire Mr. Arnett to deeper
flights of elOquence.
Harlan told Mr.. Arnett that his bill
wiping out the color line threw nearly all
the colored teachers out of employment,
and this bill, requiring the teaching Of
physiology and the effects Of alcohol on
the human system, would throw those
remaining out
Mr.. Arnett did not think so. He main
tanned that colored men were becoming
more intelligent and enlightened every
day. Even in the South they were on
the rise, and the greatest thing they
needed there was industry and persever-
ance. Mr.. Arnett's remarks created
applause IN every quarter of the House.
IF the assertion as made BY Col.
Harlan is true, then indeed is it
time that they all 60 and our child
rem be taught by those competent to
teach. But we do not believe the
Colonel knew what he was talking
about when such belittling state
ment escaped his lips. What COM
pliment to the colored teachers, and
what humiliating spectacle was
that in theHouse ofRepresentatives.
A colored man opposing such mea-
ure as proposed in the bill because
it raised the standard Of popular
education too high for the colored
teachers. GRANTEES that the gentle
man knew whereof he spoke, then
indeed does the righteousness of
the Ely-Arnett bill become more
apparent. 1t matters not who,
whether white or colored, if not
qualified to teach physiology as pre-
scribed IN the Arnett bill, let them
retire to private life or to some
other field for employment. No,
we say no thousand times, do not
cater to the ignorance and fogyism
of any person or-clique. The black
man in Ohio is on trial still at the
bar of the highest sentiment of in
tellectual probation. He is the
true representative Of the race who
asks for only a trial Of merit, to
stand or fall as he is worthy. How
ever, we happen to know person
ally some Of the colored teachers in
Cincinnati and elsewhere, who are
competent to pass with credit such
an examination as will be required
of them and not per gratsG

GENUINE religion is principle
as clearly practicable in all Of the
walks of life, as are the principles
of any commercial or enterprise un-
dertaking and indeed more 50. The
merchant is constantly kept busy
watching the market quotations,
and to be posted on the amount of
supply, and demand Of wares in his
trade, and many times is disap-
pointed in his calculations because
of the sudden and often unaccount-
able fluctuations of the trade; the
failure of one man or company IN
/ the same business may ruin him,
or so cripple him as that he may
never recover from the altera tlOnS
Of his previous plans. And again
the matter Of competition in busi-
ness must not be overlooked. 1t is
said that Competition is the
life of trade" But many a man
has found it the death of his busi-
ness. While it is probably true
that some men may be able to an
ticipate the turn of matters "on
change" and to take advantage of
the same, yet after all most men in
the business affairs of life to a great
extent find themselves moving up
on the great chess board of CONNER
cial transactions. The subject or
rather the result of business move
ments is dictated by the " Fickle
goddess Of fortune" the iron clad
rule of the best defined business
policy of to-day that succeeds in
bringing to him thousands of dol
lars in a single transaction may to-
morrow if adhered to as yesterday
force him into bankruptcy, as the
Scottish poet says; +" The best laid
plans of! men and mice gang aft
aglee," has been too many times
verified in the lives of men and
mice, to need any argument to con-
vince any one that it is true that
"twixt the cup and the lip there is
many slip" But practical piety
in our daily life is not, and can not
be subjected to any such accident.
While it is impossible for any one
to .foresee all the duties that may
be presented by the master, it is
nevertheless true that "as thy day
is so shall thy grace be " Provi-
dences dark and to US mysterious
come to US, amid the darkness the
voice Of duty speaks not from with
without but from within. The
Conscience if enlightened by the di-
vine light and love is never mis-
taken as to the course to be pur-
sued in all matters of practical du-
ties, nor indeed is there any dispo-
sition to show the performance of
such duties. Conscience alone is
not a safe guide for conscience. Un-
til the heart and mind are converted |
is asleep, and like the physical
man when asleep does not hear un-
derstandingly until fully awake.
One may question or command one
asleep, and if aroused to semi
conscious condition only the an
swer will most likely be incoherent,
hence the figure as given in the
Scriptures. I" Awake thou that
sleepest," etc.
Men when asleep may dream of |
most exciting pleasures, and laugh
while the countenance may beam
with delight, and the whole frame
tremble with the thrillings of a
great joy. But when the hour of
awakening comes, how he realizes
